Speech Recognition Technology Systems5.1 Speech recognition technology (SRT) is designed tocapture voice and transcribe that speech into text. This can bedone by a single user wor

28、king at a standalone computer or bya large group of users working on a network. Another methodis processing a pre-recorded digital voice file through an SRTsystem, with the resulting text and/or SRT engine being editedby the MTE.5.2 Speech recognition technology system workflow.5.2.1 Front-end speec

29、h recognition process involves:5.2.1.1 Recording the voice.5.2.1.2 SRT transcription of the voice file to text.5.2.1.3 Editing may be done by the originator and/orSRMTE.5.2.1.4 Compound file may be saved as an option.5.2.1.5 Text file can be printed, archived, transmitted, orintegrated into an elect

30、ronic health record.5.2.1.6 Update the SRT context for RecOs and new termi-nology.5.2.2 Back-end speech recognition process involves:5.2.2.1 Recording the voice.5.2.2.2 Transmitting the voice file to the speech recognitionengine.5.2.2.3 SRT transcription of the voice file to text.5.2.2.4 Saving the

31、voice and text as a compound file.5.2.2.5 Routing the compound file to the SRMTE.5.2.2.6 Editing done by the SRMTE.5.2.2.7 Saving the text file.5.2.2.8 Returning the edited text file to the originator forauthentication.E23640425.2.2.9 SRMTE updates the SRT context for RecOs andnew terminology.5.2.3

32、Standalone SRT System:5.2.3.1 Only one person at a time can use a standalonesystem.5.2.3.2 Context is limited by the hard drive space.5.2.3.3 Editing is done locally, at the point of input, eitherby the originator or by the SRMTE.5.2.3.4 Input devices.(1) Noise-canceling SRT microphones.(2) Handheld

33、 digital recorders.(3) Digital dictation systems.(4) Telephones.5.2.3.5 The following scenarios are offered to give thereader examples of how these systems work. They are notintended to represent every possible scenario for these systems.(1) A radiologist (originator) dictates into a microphoneconne

34、cted to a personal computer running an SRT program.The voice is translated to text in real time. The originator editsthe text and/or the SRT context.(2) A family practitioner dictates into a personal computerthroughout the day. Each compound file is saved and then,using the same computer, the SRMTE

35、edits the text, listeningto the recorded voice as necessary for clarification. TheSRMTE may also be responsible for editing the SRT context.(3) A group of cardiologists dictate into handheld digitalrecording devices throughout the day. The voice files aretransmitted from the recorders to a computer

36、and recognized bythe SRT engine, using the cardiology context and each physi-cians acoustic model. Once recognized, each text file is editedby the SRMTE. The SRMTE may also be responsible forediting the SRT context.5.2.4 Networked SRT System:5.2.4.1 On a networked system, all files containing record

37、eddictation (voice files) are transmitted to a server, where the filesare queued up for recognition. The compound files are thenrouted to the SRMTE for editing.5.2.4.2 A networked system is designed to allow multipleoriginators and SRMTEs to work simultaneously. The voicefiles are recognized on a se

38、rver or at the workstation(s) and theresulting compound files are routed to the SRMTE for editing.5.2.4.3 Contexts.(1) The networked system may be programmed for a singlemedical specialty or subspecialty, such as radiology, pathology,family practice, physical therapy, or emergency medicine.(2) A net

39、worked system may also be programmed withmany contexts or language models so originators from manydifferent medical specialties can use it to improve speechrecognition accuracy.5.2.4.4 Editing may be done in the same facility, or thecompound files may be sent to a remote SRMTE.5.2.4.5 Input devices.

They are notintended to represent every possible scenario for these systems.(1) Six radiolo

41、gists simultaneously dictate at individualworkstations. Each voice file is routed to a recognition server,or the processing may take place on each workstation, withinformation regarding the originators specialty and identifica-tion, allowing the recognition server to load the correspondingacoustic m

42、odel and context. The voice file is processed by theSRT engine and the resulting compound file (voice and textfiles) is routed to the SRMTE for editing. The SRMTE mayalso be responsible for editing the SRT context.(2) A hospital has 300 healthcare providers dictating intoportable handheld digital re

43、cording devices from the hospitaland several remote satellite clinics, or dictation may take placeon individual workstations. The voice files are encrypted andsecurely transmitted to the digital dictation system of acontracted transcription company. Each voice file is routed to arecognition server,

44、or the processing may take place onworkstations, with information regarding the originators spe-cialty and identification, allowing the recognition server to loadthe corresponding acoustic model and context. The voice file isprocessed by the SRT engine and the resulting compound file(voice and text

45、files) is routed to the SRMTE for editing.SRMTEs working both in the office and remotely receiverecognized compound files via encrypted Internet transmis-sions. The editing is performed on standalone computers andthe encrypted text files are returned. The SRMTE may also beresponsible for editing the
